How to Learn the Starcraft 2 Terran Hotkeys Fast

How to Learn the Starcraft 2 Terran Hotkeys Fast


ItemTitle

If you want to get better at Starcraft 2 as Terran so you can climb your way up the ranking system on Battle.net, then you're going to have to learn the hotkeys. If up to this point you've been only using your mouse to play, I guarantee you are playing MUCH slower than you could be.

At all times your left hand should be on the keyboard ready to hit your hot keys to build units, create buildings, get upgrades, and attack your enemies.

If you played the old Starcraft then you probably remember that it was so hard to use the default hotkeys because some of them were so far apart. Like if you wanted to build a marine you would select your barracks, then hit "M" which for me is NOT easy to do with my left hand.

But in Starcraft 2, Blizzard has really put some time into choosing GOOD hotkeys that are easy to hit with your left hand (or your right hand if you mouse with your left hand). Now in Starcraft 2 if you want to train a marine you use the hotkey "A" which is conveniently located right under your left pinky - very easy to hit.

Now if you're just getting started, then you probably don't know what hotkey does what in the game, and that's OK. As long as you focus on learning them, you'll have them memorized in no time without spending hours studying them.

Here's how: from now on when you're playing any game of Starcraft 2, whether campaign or multiplayer, make the decision that you are going to learn the hotkeys. So instead of clicking on your Barracks and clicking the marine to train one, mouse down over the marine and the tooltip will show you the hotkey that you need to push (it will say something like this: Train Marine [A])

Now without clicking the marine, move your mouse back up to the center of the screen and press the "A" button to train a marine. If you do this for everything, you will start to memorize the different Terran hotkeys and eventually you'll be able to use your keyboard for everything, which will greatly increase your speed of play and ability to implement the more advanced Terran strategies.

The Uses Of Microsoft Word. The Power Is Under The Hood.

Recently I have had the opportunity to play around with Microsoft Word. We all use daily, but 99% of the users don't take advantage of its incredible features. Even worse, if we think just a little bit, we actually sub-utilize it. How many hours we spend repeating over and over the same routine tasks? Formatting things manually? Performing lengthy repetitive tasks again and again?

Personally, I deeply reflected about it and decided that it was not worth all the time was in such a miserably fashion, so I while ago I decided to explore a bit to see if something could be done. Let me tell you that there is a whole world down there, but the benefits you will get from taking the pain of exploring it are absolutely worth the effort.

First, you need to learn about macros. A macro is a sequence of "commands" that you record. Then you can make Word to repeat those steps for you every time you want it, but just clicking a button, or pressing a keyboard shortcut. So, by recording the steps, you don't have to perform the sequence over and over. The sequence is recorded and you can play it any time you need, almost effortlessly.

But after a little while, you learn that macros are limited, and that they allow you to do only so much when your purpose is to make more automatic your experience with Word. Then you inevitably will end up working with VBA. VBA is "Visual Basic for Applications" and it is basically the language Word is built upon. To say it other words, using VBA you have COMPLETE control of what Word does. I work heavily at creating math documents, process that involves a lot of routine and repetitive task. Using VBA I have, seriously, cut my work time in half. It takes a little while to get the hang of it, but once you get it started with it, hey, you don't want to stop. There is always a new thing you can do to make your life easier with Word, and then you will want to learn more VBA.

Don't stay behind, and seriously cut your time in front of the computer. Learn macros and VBA and you will know what I'm talking about.
